Another vote for the Farinet in Verbier. It's a 'proper' bar, in that it doesn't feel the need to have strippers to force the party started, and has a complete mix of punters, seasonnaires, guides/instructors etc. Ronnies in Meribel has a similar vibe. I don't like the somewhat forced atmosphere of the massive Austrian joints, and don't get me started on the oompha music.

You won't be disappointed, it's awesome! Get there for 3.30, it's rammed by 4.

You would like Underbar in Saalbach too then. I much prefer places like that in the evening, but I don't really count it in with the 3-7/8pmish Apres scene.

I will second that.
Only been to Austria twice (and none of Kitz, St Anton or Ischgl) though.

Ignoring the outrageous prices, it's absolutely fantastic and proof that you don't need 8 pints for an amazing apres atmosphere.
It beats all the apres I've had in various Austrian resorts (but I'll compare with the Mooserwirt/KK after I come back from St Anton next month!)
I can't wait to get back to Val in March.
Whereabouts is this? I can't find it on the Val website?
Oh Crap - just found it and what's worse is that I've eaten there a couple of lunchtimes! Didn't realise that it was good for apres ski as well

Top of the La Daille chair, you can hear it from half way down Tommeuses, all the Henrys and Petronellas are usually falling all over with a bottle of Krug stuffed down their baggy pants come 4pm! Give them a wide berth going down towards La Daille.

1. Griabli in st Anton as long as live music
2. Wherever gunar is playing in st Anton (picadilly for years but now Kandahar - will experience in march)
3. Nikkis stadl ischgl
4. Mooserwirt. To be honest I'm a bit bored of it now but has to be done. Sell that crappy fohrenburger beer (sp?).
Underground on the piste in st Anton.
Currently in niederau and I can confirm that nowhere here will get in the top 100 après bars.
Yet to experience the goahstal (sp?) in hinterglemm but sure that would be up there.
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

not bars as such, but i reckon "aprés" in a proper nice refuge would be sweet

Corky, I lasted about 2 minutes in there. Even the smokers in my group had to come outside. Bloody weird music as well.
Loved ischgl though but Nikki can keep his Stadl.

Almost all apres bars in the European Alps are a bit tragic.
Full of old people and pikeys.

Wasn't impressed with the one in Val Thorens - missed Kelly Starlight too much! He really makes the place rock in Val Dizzle.

Whitegold, Haven't seen many pikeys in the bars I've been in, bit steep and cold for Transit pickups and twin axle caravans in the Alps!!

Other than KKs. I know way too many people who've had skis stolen from there.

Salven Stadl Soll gets my vote. And the best in Kitzbuehel (although not for lively après) has to be Hotel Zur Tenne.

One thing that hacked me off about Farinet bar (lounge bar not the live room) was that wandering in at 5pm, all the comfy chesterfields had reserved signs on them; never did anyone mentioned that you had to reserve one

Yeah, he and the cool black dude make a great team. Love the drummer on the roof too.
The six men dressed as grannies who were there last March were just brillant:

Another vote for the Trofana Alm from me followed by the Mooserwirt, Schatzi Bar and the Hohenhaus Tenne in Schladming can be good some nights. For me though the Trofana Alm is in a league of its own.
1. La Folie Douce (Val D'Isere) - can't beat it on a sunny day, great vista and atmosphere
2. Moose - I have not seen any chalet/bar/restaurant with such commentable dedication to an awesome sound and lights system, and convertible tables!
3. Farinet - roof is a welcome steam reliever
4. KK - Hot waistresses (when I was there two weeks ago), although agree with the comments above
Sadly I have not been to Isghl...
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

The Mooserwirt is great, but before you get there stop off at the Heustadl on the way down. They have a great group on called Dreirad who get the place absolutely stomping. Later on try the Kandaha bar in the town, the brilliant Gunar is on until about 8pm, a great end to A/S.
